Hi fwal,

I think I have found what might be causing this and I have posted a new version.

Please let me know if this fixes the problem.

Fraser.

Dont forget that you have to set up your URL for the EPG, then click reset and then map your channels before anything will download.

G'day Big_Kev,
I was wrong about the channel mappings not saving, I didn't look properly. I tried your new version 0.0.0.0.07 Beta but still with the same error. I watched the networking with task manager while stopping and starting the server or using reset but there was nothing and the same error was displayed. Everything seems to work fine up to that point. Thanks for your time writing both download programs and the documentation is excellent.

Big_Kev,

I also have the same issue as fwal, everything seems to work fine but it doesn't download anything just says "Could not access log file - please try again later".

Hi Fraser & Greg,

I have uploaded a new version that has a "Download Now" button on the schedule page.

If your channels have mapped correctly, then your URL and connection details should be correct.

Try the Download Now button (please note that it will stop and restart the service, then take about 30 seconds to start downloading)

Let me know what comes up in the log window...

Hi Big_Kev,
have installed and tried 08 and I get the message "27/03/2008 2:43:08 PM - EPG Downloader could not connect to TV Server database: Error=[AnyDAC][Comp][Clnt]-340. Driver ID is not defined.
Set TADConnection.DriverName or add DriverID parameter to your connection definition"
I then went back and checked the additional user created in SQL EXPRESS and that looks ok. I am using Vista and have only one login and have UAC turned off.
Thanks, Fraser

Big_Kev,

It all works OK for me now thank you. I'm running XP MCE with MS SQL Express.

Tnaks again
Greg

Does the "Test Login" button on the manager give the same error?

[fwal]

Yes, stop and restart or test download button both give same error.

Can this program be used for the new Welcome to epgStream.net!

Yes it can...

You need to register first, and get your client id - this is a long string of numbers and letters allocated to you by epgstream, not the user ID you register with - see epgstream FAQ for more info.

Now create your URL string similar to below - inserting your ClientID (note: do not include the curly brackets!) and change the geographicId to the appropriate postcode - in my case, 2000 is for Sydney.

I used URL...

http://free-epg.epgstream.net/xmltv/xmltvService.aspx?clientId={ClientID}&guideType=fr ee&clientType=MediaPortal&countryCode=au&geographi cId=2000&medium=digital.tv


You dont need to fill in the User Name or password fields, as the client ID you embed in the URL takes care of that.
